President Trump announced early on Saturday morning that he had spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday and that Zelensky will meet with the President at the White House on Monday.

Trump said his late-night phone calls with Zelensky, European leaders, and the NATO Secretary General went “very well,” just like his meeting with Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.

According to Jack Posobiec, Trump was on the phone during his entire flight from Anchorage back to DC. At 2:26 am ET, Trump was still on the phone working to broker a peace deal.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump and Putin came to an agreement to secure peace between Russia and Ukraine after a three-hour-long meeting on Friday.

President Trump told reporters during a press conference alongside Putin, “There’s no deal until there’s a deal. I will call up NATO in a little while. I will call up the various people that I think are appropriate, and I’ll, of course, call up President Zelensky and tell him about today’s meeting.”

The President announced that he had spoken to these leaders in a statement on Truth Social, published at 4:46 am ET, saying he had a "great and very successful day in Alaska."

"It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up," he said.

"President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people’s lives will be saved."

Full statement:

A great and very successful day in Alaska! The meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia went very well, as did a late night phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and various European Leaders, including the highly respected Secretary General of NATO. It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up.

President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people’s lives will be saved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This comes after Zelensky sabotaged peace negotiations in an explosive showdown with President Trump by disrespecting him in the Oval Office and reneging on a pre-agreed-upon peace deal when he was in Washington in February.
